“Business Week” Highlights Vegan CEOs
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 5th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink.
Business Week has featured an article online that highlights the growing number of CEOs and equally powerful folks going vegan.
“Steve Wynn, Mort Zuckerman, Russell Simmons, and Bill Clinton are now using tempeh to assert their superiority. As are Ford Executive Chairman of the Board Bill Ford (F), Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, venture capitalist Joi Ito, Whole Foods Market (WFMI) Chief Executive Officer John Mackey, and Mike Tyson. Yes, Mike Tyson, a man who once chewed on human ear, is now vegan.”
Wynn, the owner of the popular Las Vegas casinos, is such a lover of animals, he’s included the Humane Society in his will. Wynn says he’s convinced many of his employees to eat vegan (no doubt it’s easy to eat that way on the job now that all his restaurant provide several gourmet vegan options), but it’s not a requirement of the job.
As any smart CEO would tell you, employees eating healthier is a good business decision, which Wynn describes. In his own words, that is.
“I’m providing the ass for the insurance. If they’re sick, we’re picking up the tab,” Wynn says. “If I can keep them healthier, I’m acting like a smart businessman.”
